GERMANY.
Emperor William attended the unveiling of a monument to Painee Frederick Charles', atFiankport, on August 16th. At breakfast, he gavp a toat^t to " German purity," and said that 46,000,000 Germans would die rather than delher a single stone of Ahfice-Lonaine Lo the French. He also said, l> One thing I imtbt add, gentlemen. We all know each other too well to entertain such thoughts, yet I must defend my depaitcd lather against the shameful suspicion that he could have ielinquished pait of the gains of the great war."' This speech caused a depiession on the Euiopean bourses. The German newspapers of all shades ot opinion expressed approwil, while the French journals preserved a dignified Silence, which is iegaide'l as significant of the intensity of feeling created by the impeiial speaker's words.
